Queensland lungfish are most strange, the only fish that have lungs. They are said to be a link to ancient animals. They can live for more than 50 years and get pretty big, up to 40 kilograms. I caught a huge old one out at a local river, it was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen (I let it go, of course, they are protected.) These critters I've been using are from a collection of Au and NZ wildlife called Yowie's put out by a chocolate company. They are inside an egg shaped choc and come in small pieces you put together. One day I'll sort them all out and sell them on e-bay and make a fortune ;-)
Ah! So they're not real! This is an interesting photo for today but I'm itching to rotate it by 180 degrees - there's nothing wrong with the way you've composed it - it just doesn't sit well with my organized brain!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! Thank you for educating us! I have thoroughly enjoyed your gallery! You should be very proud of it!
ReplyDeleteSo this fish is not real???? It sure looks it!!
ReplyDeleteI certainly thought it was real.....I'm loving your creatures and the new knowledge I have now
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty real!...except for the eye I guess.
ReplyDeleteSorta like Kinder Surprise eggs!?!? This guy looks like he has been washed up on shore, but lucky he has lungs so he can still breath out there! ;-) And this really does look like a real fish, in real mud.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing 30 days. You made a fantastic collection of images, and I hope you have enough energy for one more for day 31 and for the contest! Nice work all round.
I woulda never have guess that this was all coming from Yowies! Mostly because when i was a kid I remember them being rubbishy looking, but your placement and composition of them makes them look absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAwesome to see you still shooting! That's definitely a gallery to reflect on with pride! It's amazing, well done!
Wow, I though this was a real fish the way you set it up. I remember the Yowies and also the Kinder surprises.
ReplyDeleteThis shot is an awesome way to almost finish your challenge. Well done!
Very effective setup, I thought that was a real fish at first. Thanks for the info about it, really interesting read.
